Place the power switches for both pad channels in the OFF
( ) position, as shown (power indicator lights turn off).
Caution: Do not set lifter against any surfaces which
could soil or damage vacuum pads.
The control handles can be used to support an unloaded
lifter when not suspended from a crane, as shown: Make
sure the lifter leans securely against an appropriate
support; then detach the hoisting equipment hook from
the lift spool.
If the lifter is transported to another location, reverse the
ASSEMBLY steps to disassemble the lifter. Use the
original shipping containers and secure the pad channels
and lift frame, so as to protect the vacuum pads and all
other components from damage.
Storing the Lifter
1) Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean, as shown.
!!–CE–!! The lifter is designed to rest on relatively horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To
store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat
surface. Then lower the lift frame to a horizontal orientation and place a support under the lift
spool.
2) Charge both batteries completely when placing them in storage and at six-month intervals
thereafter (see MAINTENANCE: B
ATTERY
R
ECHARGE
).
3) Disconnect the electrical connectors on both pad
channels, as shown, in order to minimize drainage of
the batteries.
4) Store the batteries at temperatures between 32° and
70° Fahrenheit [between 0° and 21° Celsius].
Note: Storage at temperatures above 100° Fahrenheit
[38° Celsius] should be avoided.
